The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

Chapter 229: Waking up in the middle of the night

"Noisy people don't make friends." Latio sneered. "A little trivia: the Attini peacock has one of the most unpleasant calls in the universe, and your outfit is just like a peacock in all its splendor... Apparently, this peacock's feathers have been plucked, and your luggage has been confiscated by your family?"

"Well, that man in the gray suit took all the gifts and the box containing the cornerstone." Sha Jin felt a little disappointed.

"Latio heard this and started to leave."

"Huh? Where are you going?" Shajin called out to him.

"Go home and tell the company that some idiot messed up everything," Latio said calmly.

Sha Jin laughed nonchalantly: "Hahaha, they're just a few rocks, why are you so pessimistic? What if they're gone?"

Latio: "Without that aventurine, you're just a gypsy slave sentenced to death by the company—or is that 'product code' around your neck also a gift from the Amber King?"

"This noble-looking gold dust was actually born a slave?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.

He actually hated gold dust at first.

He hated noblemen who spent money lavishly like this the most... Of course, if they were descendants of the Zhu family, that would be a different story.

"Zhongba, it's similar to your experience." Queen Ma was also quite surprised.

Anyone who could climb all the way from a slave to such a status must have had a legendary life.

…………

"..." Shajin was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Oh, sure, that's a good joke! It seems our learned friend has prepared his lessons well."

(As expected of the strongest guardian currently, his defense is really high, even this can't break his defense.)

"This is my job," Latio said calmly. "How else can a gambler help the company regain Pinocchio?"

"Don't worry, Professor. I have plenty of solutions," Gold Sand said confidently. "The family is afraid the company will cause trouble, so they're constantly confronting it... Maybe Pinocchio was part of this conspiracy from the beginning."

"What's the solution?" Latio couldn't understand the gambler's logic.

Sha Jin kept it a secret: "It's not time to reveal your trump card yet."

"The prerequisite for cooperation is mutual trust." Latio frowned. "Doesn't the preschool education of the Tsyganians include this?"

Gold Sand smiled and said, "Do you trust me?"

"Latio: "It depends on your attitude."

"So you don't trust me either, isn't that enough?" Shajin smiled and spread his hands. "Also, I'm uneducated, and my parents certainly didn't teach me this—sadly, they passed away before they could."

Latio: "...I meant no offense."

"He really didn't know that Shajin's parents died so early. Now he's starting to feel guilty."

(Is this Gold Dust's counterattack shield? If you keep getting hit, you'll be able to counterattack after getting hit enough.)

"Ah, this... Professor Latio might not be able to sleep tonight."

As soon as Confucius saw Latio's expression, he knew that he was a man with a strong sense of morality.

Such people have done such offensive things.

I would probably wake up in the middle of the night and slap myself: I am such a terrible person!

…………

"Don't worry about it," Gold Dust said nonchalantly, "but they taught me that 'friends are the weapons of the Evikin'—with the Tonghe watching closely, the more friends we have, the better."

"Let him think about it. Liuguang Yiting and Xingqiong Train have already been contacted. The Annihilation Gang is probably out of the question. It's still unclear whether the Pure Beauty Knights will show up. As for those guys in the tavern..."

"Oh, speaking of which, I just met this woman who calls herself the Sea Ranger. I have a feeling something's off about her. Could you help me find out more about her... Hmm? Where's she?"

"As Gold Sand was talking, I turned around and found that Latio had disappeared without a trace."

"Wasn't that the time he was thinking?"

"You don't hate me that much, do you? Well, it seems I have to rely on myself after all."

"He's still a little disappointed."

"On one side is Doctor Zhenli, and on the other side is Gold Dust. These two good-looking people are arguing, and I don't know which side to help."

Zhao Ji felt distressed when she saw Sha Jin's pitiful appearance.

But when she was asked to scold Latio, she couldn't bring herself to do so because of his handsome face.

Lao Ai frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

That’s great. Could it be that you’re attracted to those two guys?

But he soon felt relieved.

No matter how handsome the man in the sky is, the Queen Mother can only look at him.

In fact, it still depends on his +15 artifact that can turn the wheels!

…………

"Xing opened her eyes and found herself still in the room."

"But the difference is that she can vaguely feel... this is a dream."

"The atmosphere feels a bit strange, and... was there someone calling out a name just now?"

"She was about to leave when she saw a note on the table next to her."

"I picked it up and saw the words 'Even in dreams there are impossible things. Find it, and you will be able to see me.'"

"What does this mean?"

"Just as I was wondering, a familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears... It's Misha!"

““Can you see me? This way! Please come this way.””

"Xing walked around the room but couldn't find Misha."

"Finally, I focused my gaze on the picture frame on the wall. Misha's voice came from there."

"Instead of going through the door, you're going through the frame? It's truly a dream."

"Xing muttered, moved closer to the frame, and then was sucked in."

"There's a corridor inside, and all around it are all kinds of furniture floating in the air, creating a bizarre and strange scene."

"Could this be the case with Pinocchio's trip? It always feels a bit boring."

Xu Xiake was a little disappointed.

This is not the dream he imagined!

This... this is too plain, too dull.

It’s not even as magnificent as the hotel in the real world!

"I just hope Xing is in the wrong place."

…………

"You're here! Great!" Misha cheered happily when she saw Xing.

"Is this the dreamland?" Xing asked as he walked over and looked around.

"It's certainly bizarre, but it seems... unworthy of being called the universe's most famous tourist destination."

"This is the Corridor of Thought," Misha explained with a smile. "You can think of it as the entryway to the 'Golden Hour,' and I'm here to guide you."

"I see. Xing finally understands."

“This is a dream, but it’s not a dream for ‘travel’.”
